No need to wave hands and ululate in tongues. It would seem logical

You use wave speeds to constrain the petrologic models. The starting
point of
these petrologic models is what we find in rocks like in Kimberlite,
Ophiolites and other complexes. You squeeze and
heat them and ask what seismic wave speeds do you get?. There are
other constraints too, such as mass
and moment of inertia. The statement has some circularity, but not
what you think.

My fundamental point is that there is something seriously wrong in
suggesting that just recently
(geologically speaking), new material causing the expansion is
different than the material
that comprises the bulk of the earth, that according to EE was
generated over the past billion years or so.
That is an inconsistency.

Any composition is possible for the rising material? Then what is the
connection between current Mantle
chemistry and previous expansion? How can current mantle bulk
chemistry be divorced from previous expansion which
purportedly increased the mass of the Earth by 60% if not more?

Makes my point even better.

yet current rising material which gives rise to the expansion is now a

Nope. Upduction does not account for the major part of the surface
expansion. The major part of surface expansion results from spreading
ridges.
